Barb Arnold has been a licensed massage therapist since 2000 and brings over 25 years of grounded, attentive experience into every session. A graduate of Blue Sky Massage School, her work is rooted in a strong therapeutic foundation that has deepened and refined through years of hands-on practice and ongoing study.

Over time, Barb’s approach has naturally evolved into an integrative, presence-based style that honors both the physical and energetic body. Her sessions are an organic blend of Swedish massage, therapeutic techniques such as trigger point and neuromuscular work, cranial sacral therapy, and subtle energy awareness—always guided by careful listening and respect for what the body is ready to receive.

She has a special appreciation for supporting those navigating the demands of modern life, including long hours at computers, driving, motherhood, and the cumulative stress patterns that settle into the body. Clients are often drawn to Barb for her calm steadiness, thoughtful touch, and the sense of being truly met and supported on the table.

Since 2019, Barb has continued to deepen her understanding of the energetic body through advanced study, including an energy healing apprenticeship with Cyndi Dale, additional energy coursework with Amelia Vogler and Lee Harris, and Cranial Sacral Therapy Levels I & II through the Upledger Institute. This layered background allows her to work with both structure and subtlety, meeting each client with flexibility, care, and integrity.

Barb feels deeply aligned with Balance on Buffalo’s integrative, presence-centered philosophy and offers Attuned Massage, Deep Rest Massage, and Prenatal Massage. Her intention is simple and sincere: to help clients feel better, more regulated, and more at home in their bodies.
